Bloomberg Getting Started

About Bloomberg Professional Service

About the Bloomberg Professional Service

Bloomberg was founded in 1981 with one core mission : to

bring transparency to capital markets through access to

information. Today’s Bloomberg - totaling more than 13,000

employees with 202 locations in 72 countries around the

globe – builds on that foundation.

Everything that we do connects decision markers in business,

finance and government to a broad and dynamic network of

global and local information, news, people and ideas that

enables faster, more effective decisions.

The Bloomberg professional service draws on our core

capabilities and sits at the center of our offerings, giving

information on every asset class - from fixed income to

equities, foreign exchange to commodities, derivatives to

mortgages - integrated in one place and delivered in real

time to your desktop or mobile device. Along with this robust

information set, you have access to all the news, analytics,

communications, charts, execution platforms, and customer

support you need to put knowledge into action.
